A light aircraft completely removed the very solid roof of a terraced house on approach to Shoreham Airport in West Sussex a few years ago. I have a photo somewhere....it was behind the house I lived until I was 5 years old, hence my interest. I believe that was down to fuel shortage. Again, despite the damage to the house the aircraft wasn't too badly dmagaed, all walked away. What with the railway, high street and River Adur all very, very close by they had a fortunate escape.
